A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.

Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign , they must not go at more than thirty kilometers can hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number two is a sign that we're near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go round a bend very fast. Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number seven has the word “ SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter “ P ” on it. The letter “ P ” means “ Parking ”. At some places, there're the signs “ No parking ” or “ No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.Ioften wonder how my father ever had a son like me.I mean he’s so special and so good ateverything he does.Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the footballteam.
Well,to be honest,I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something
special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star.I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home,I started to think about what to write.My father is an astronaut.N0,wouldn’t start like that.That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father? Hmm.
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how hehugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car.Yes,these were the things Iwas going to write.To me,he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut.He was my dad.
My parents and l went to school Thursday night.There were so many people in the big[]hall! My dad looked at me,and I shrugged(耸肩).
The third prize was announced and it was not me.1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time.The second prize was announced.It was me.
1 went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,the people stood up and cheered.I saw my father blowing his nose.Tears were running down my mother’s face.Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,thisis the proudest moment of my life.”
It was the proudest moment of my life,too.Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win aNobel Prize,but it was enough just to be my father’s son.

Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?

Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students.People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow’’, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”.

Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.

Allan:I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game.Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.

Laura:You know, people in the city are longing for(渴望) the life in the countryside.It reduces my work pressure(压力);besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”.

Ivy:  Well. it’s just a waste of time.Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not focus on (专注于)their study.
